Re: Is it my Ram?!!

Hello and welcome to the forum,

Have you done the usual check for viruses,Spyware etc?

Use <a href="http://www.memtest.org">this</a> to check your RAM for errors.
Use the precompiled ISO or the floppy version (probably easier but if you don't have a floppy drive....)

Post back if all fails

Re: Is it my Ram?!!

If I had to guess, I'd say a corrupt/dying harddrive. Missing Windows files are usually a sign of corruption with the harddrive.

You can run a chkdsk/scandsk to see if your Windows neeeds to recover any missing files.

On my old 80GB HDD, it couldn't even pass a chkdsk scan without freezing. I had numerous bad blocks, the harddrive was obviously dying.

Re: Is it my Ram?!!

i faced the same situation when i accediently delete my current windows, from the default operating systems list. so, all i was doing is, moving in to a circles inside bios. have you yet tried to boot using a bootable windows CD? i fixed mince by booting from a windows cd then going in to the repair option and rebuilding the boot.cfg file.
